@JimboJumb0 CBB kills the NBA in style of play and generally rules too.

You either cook yourself or get cooked Feel free to ask to ask if someone/something is "cooking" or "cooked" and I will use my best judgement to decide.

Thinking that college basketball is better than NBA basketball is a sign of low intelligence
claybraham lincoln@ClayLaSoul
I see this take a lot and it’s completely undercut by the fact that the most popular forms of BOTH basketball and football in this country are objectively the second-best version of the sport.

@JuggernautBron If thats what you come away with rhat, I hate to break it to you but it says a lot worse things about you than anyone else

Mark Price is considered one of the best players of the 90s. From 88-95 he was a 4 time mvp candidate, 4 time all nba including first team. At least top 13 in BPM for that entire stretch with 5 appearances in the top 10.
Many argue that his scoring and shooting made him a more potent player than Stockton.
But if you take Mark Prices’s highlights and put them next to players like CJ McCollum and Jason Terry, you see that they can do everything Mark can do and them some even though they have never made an all star game.
That’s how much better the modern era is than the 90s. Of course looking at highlights isn’t full fledged analysis, but it’s clear that a solid player in the modern game would be a star in that era.

@AndrewDBailey Andy, I know youre smarter than this. This is one of the most illegitimate stats out there.
English
Why did you leave out bill russell? Or John Havlicek? Or the other 7 guys with better records than MJ?
Sports Fluent@sports_fluent
According to this logic. Jordan 6-9 40% Kobe 5-15 Magic 5-8 Bird 3-10 Shaq 4-15 Duncan 5-15 Hakeem 2-16 Steph 4-12 KD 2-15 LEBRON 4-19 17%

Friendly reminder that Michael Jordan literally BEGGED the NBA to not allow zone defenses
Then he fled the league once he realized his numbers were dropping lmao
This is your GOAT? 🤣😂
𝓕 🪄@Fiizop
i just want to point out the coverage the spurs running rn was illegal jordan whole career

@Genesis_Bucs @LBJgoat_talk @BarryOnHere I usually dont but did for some reason today. I know there's better places for this. Especially considering I think very highly of LeBron but obviously any that isnt praise of him can be taken as insulting by some unfortunately
English
@MrCookinstein @LBJgoat_talk @BarryOnHere @MrCookinstein youre not wrong. Kareem really only had talent in the very very early stages of his career and then on the back half of it. But why are you saying this on Twitter. Not the place for legitimate arguments lol
English
Jordan had Pippen & Grant drafted to his team by year 4
Magic was drafted to a playoff team with peak Kareem.
Bird was drafted to team that surrounded him with multiple HOFers by year 2.
Kobe was drafted to a playoff team with Shaq entering his prime
Duncan was drafted to a team with an all-time great big man still in his prime
Steph's franchise gave him Klay, Draymond, Iguodala & Durant within his 1st 8 years.
Kareem got Oscar in year 2
Even Wemby has already been blessed with Harper & Castle by his 3rd year.
LeBron's best teammate his 1st 7 years was Mo Williams.
English
@tj747788 @LBJgoat_talk @BarryOnHere This is not about individual players. This is about team. Outside of his early bucks years. Kareem had bad supporting casts til LeBron showed up.
Its 1 reason ring culture is pathetic. Never judge players on winning. Thats too out of their control. Judge them on impact.
English
@MrCookinstein @LBJgoat_talk @BarryOnHere So are Goodrich, Dantley, Dandridge, Wilkes, and Nixon not great now? Most people don’t even need a deep breakdown to know how good they were, that’s just basic basketball knowledge.
English
@tj747788 @LBJgoat_talk @BarryOnHere 4. We both know you dont about what is or isnt true. Youre probably just going to ne pro lebron, regardless of if its actually true or not
5. I think lebron has a great goat case and have nothing against him. This post is just disingenuous.
English
@MrCookinstein @LBJgoat_talk @BarryOnHere How is that worst talent then what Bron played with in his first stint ? ☠️☠️
English
@LBJgoat_talk @BarryOnHere Im aware who was on his teams, that's why I made the statement.
English
Had Oscar by year 2 who was an AS for the next 2 years… and missed the playoffs soon as Oscar retired…before being traded to the Lakers and instantly had Gail Goodrich by year 3 w Lakers had Wilkes, Dantley and Nixon… Magic and Haywood 2 years later with Cooper Macadoo and Worthy on the way…

@mackaroto @Carnage45__ Kyrie carries almost every time he dribbles lol
English
@Carnage45__ Kyrie actually doesn’t carry too often.
This is partly what makes him the greatest ball handler of all time.
Now KD… KD carries on almost EVERY play.
And I’m a HUGE KD fan
English
Been saying this forever. This idea that dropping modern players off in the 60s means they would dominate just isn't true. Kyrie vs the palming rule would be hilarious.
WiltStats@WiltStats
Many basketball fans judge 1960s athleticism based on old highlights, pointing to "stiff" dribbling and a lack of explosive drives. But that wasn't a lack of physical ability—it was strict officiating. • Zero Tolerance for Carrying: You couldn't place your hand anywhere near the side or bottom of the ball. Players were forced to push the ball strictly from the top, which fundamentally limited their change-of-direction speed and crossover ability. • Strict Offensive Fouls: Lowering a shoulder or initiating contact meant an immediate whistle. You couldn't simply bulldoze your way down the lane like Giannis does today. The truth is, if you dropped modern superstars into the 1960s, their signature explosive drives wouldn't just be whistled down—they wouldn't exist in the first place. Players only develop and practice the skills that the rules allow them to use. You can't romanticize modern athleticism without acknowledging that today's wide-open style is a direct result of a drastically loosened rulebook.

Minnesota sports fans have a right to be pissed
Our drought is truly an anomaly

@FastbreakHoops5 Insane play. Still insanely overrated by many tho
English
That time Kawhi literally palmed Kyrie's shot and he still made it 😭
English
@Carusoismygoat1 In my opinion #34 should be a non negotiable retired number. Maybe #51 and #54, but everything else should be fair game.
English
Nobody gets to wear #3 because of “Bronco Nagurski”, but yeah let our rookie center wear 54
Chicago Bears@ChicagoBears
🚨 Rookie jersey numbers are here 🚨
English
@Carusoismygoat1 Only Payton & Urlacher should have retired #'s
Maybe Butkus/Sayers too but everyone else should be put in a "Ring of Honor" type thing
The retired #'s from the 30s-50s are dumb & they played a game that was so different that it doesn't resemble modern football.
English
@AaronKap_ @HardRockBet Yes, it goes to show that the original post doesnt make much sense
English
@MrCookinstein @HardRockBet Glad you ended thar sentence with a question mark
English
@JungleRat55 @HardRockBet Just because you hate context/reality doesnt mean thats the best way.
Continuing a problem is a weird way to do stuff. Id rather improve and try to get better but if you dont then thats on you
English
@MrCookinstein @HardRockBet You're remembered by playoff success. Like it or not. People won't remember he had a "bad defense." He has an 8-7 record in the playoffs. Average. He's been on good teams for years now. If they weren't, he wouldn't have been in the playoffs that much.
English
@JungleRat55 @HardRockBet Not relevant. This isnt about teams
English
@MrCookinstein @HardRockBet He doesn't even have an AFCC under his belt. All these years, nothing.
English
@MrCookinstein @HardRockBet Stats are for losers. He doesn’t do enough to win games
